should leave germany migration kills. and we must take back all cities of villages and uh, homeland according to those reports. i mean, how does the german government, in your opinion limit the full out of something like this, especially given oh, laugh, shot seems to be plummeting and supporting the poles that have to be like to know the next year. yeah, i mean look, there's a few things at play here. one thing that i find really fascinating is that this attack took place just hours after the richest man in the world. the one musk had tweeted to his hundreds of millions of twitter followers that only the f d can save germany. ok, so this isn't just an issue with german support for far right movements. this is something that's happening in the united states. it's something that's happening in france, austria, italy, and so it is going to be something to watch in terms of how the german government does handle the fall out from this. because certainly, even if this man was anti muslim, a convert to christianity, perhaps it,

what protection is germany willing to give people to what migrants, what kinds of migrant sis germany needs in terms of skill sets? this is, it probably is in germany's interests, right. and this is a decade that we didn't have for decades. we think about the circled guest workers in the 19 sixty's, but everybody expected them to leave people from tacky italy and so on. and of course now they have grandchildren here who they are the type the car, keep them in society. absolutely. yeah. but there was no, there is recognition that germany actually is a country of immigration. and i think that's what you're probably pointing to. that when you look at the debate about the syrians in germany, you can really see the struggle that germany still has, in terms of defining its own interest. when it comes to say, we need skilled labor, we need people from abroad. we want a diverse society, but we want to be more in control of who actually comes here. we also don't want to give up on a value. so we do want to give people protection here a roof i what is changed in your view point, how have you fo

at germany? germany, even though it does still get a lot of criticism about it's done, some on ukraine has really increased its defense spending and is, you know, one of the biggest funders or provider mets we have now to ukraine. now the big question would be with merits, if he is elected the new chancellor leader, the opposition now will he signify a change in policy? and now we have his party and, and he, himself, i've taken a very strong stands when it comes to support for ukraine. he'd visited ukraine in the last couple of weeks and met with the landscaping, kia, for example. i'm the one of the issues that's a big source of database in jeremy is whether jeremy was send these towers messiahs to at ukraine. shots have refrained from doing that and has been criticized merits as indications you would do that. however, the reality is that by the time the new government has in place, donald trump with them being phase, and i think you cream would be part of a much bigger conversation involving the

a rich tradition in germany, these christmas markets.e not just there, but they spread around the world, u.k., a huge part of the festive season. it seemed like there were a lot of people there. life pictures now showing a very different picture. people have left the scene. most fleeing the area but a great number, it seems, potentially being taken away by ambulances, emergency workers there to local hospitals. news agency reporting potentially between 60 and 80 people injured. samantha: just a couple of lines in on the number of injuries and how hospitals will prepare for this. reuters is saying that there are numerous injured people, according to a spokesperson for the city of magdeburg, and all hospitals are preparing for mass casualty events in a not surprisingly. interestingly, i was just reading the interior ministers said last month that there were no concrete indications of a danger to christmas markets this year, but said it was wise to be vigilant. today, the 19th of december, the anniversary eight years ago of the attack on th

and my 1st impression was germany was really cold. the people are soul tall and they speak really like quickly as long as you 1st and understand what they say at 1st. the reason behind why i want to go up for is like, i want to know the people are from the other culture. when i went to germany, i don't know the culture yet. i don't know. deland yet. i don't even speak the language here. so uh through the deputation process. i learned a lot and it's awful shape me. i am why i'm today. rebecca invested in denisia after finishing high school. she did a bachelor's in business administration in germany. after that, she became a manager in the i t sector and found at the luxury company java bell. i started my carrier as a marketing in the i p industry since 2019 currently on virginia pon pon it's a silver house and mainly our clients are people the clients and we are offering a software solution, a platform solution, mainly for the entertain doctorate together with my theme in the sales, we are preparing online and offline campaigns. we are

same germany, local nazi chapters were founded. brazil had the largest nazi biology outside germany. children saying nazi anthem's and schools and use paypal. georgia morgan was one of hitler's most important propaganda tools among the german community. initially present in present, undergrad, tony, of all gash sympathized with europe's passions. but in the run up to the 2nd world war functions, step top assimilation efforts under pressure from the americans. technology policy was banned. german cops and schools were closed. speaking german was no longer allowed. one of this affected my grandmother to the dental darma called there was a supervisor in the shop who wouldn't allow us to speak german, them special. everything was mark outside sourcing all. if people wanted salt or flour, they've linked it to them. so they weren't permitted to say the german worrying to the picking up and you'll fall all i'm not inside the bag because after the 2nd world war, a contact with germany had broken off in some of the cases. if it had been very important for institutions like german speaking sch

and also supportive of the far right afd here in germany. picture, and very much not the profile of the attackers in previous such atrocities. i think that is what is making this tragic incident so confusing for people to understand and get their heads around because the motivation is very unclear. interestingly, authorities came out very quickly to say that it was a saudi man that was a suspect. that's right, and until relatively recently you would never in the media and from police statements, you would never talk about the nationality of a suspect. it was seen as legally not acceptable and morally reprehensible. that all changed a couple of years ago when officials very quickly started releasing information about nationalities and backgrounds of suspects in order to undermine conspiracy theories about what was behind such attacks. in this particular case he does seem to be a saudi national who has lived in germany for a long time. the authorities are also very aware that there have been a lot of conspiracy theories flying around throughou

germany— him which germany resisted.2015, germany has been a — remember back in 2015, germany has been a refuge for a large 1.5 million refugees from the middle — 1.5 million refugees from the middle east. something which has been a very polarising factor— has been a very polarising factor in _ has been a very polarising factor in german domestic politics— factor in german domestic politics that has helped to give — politics that has helped to give rise to the afd, the german— give rise to the afd, the german far—right party which has gained strength and popularity in the polls. there are entire _ popularity in the polls. there are entire message is that germany should not be a refuge for so _ germany should not be a refuge for so many of these people but that it _ for so many of these people but that it is — for so many of these people but that it is changing the character of germany. that seems _ character of germany. that seems to _ character of germany. that seems to be something that this man taleb al—abdulmohsen ag

so to see for it to germany. what's really make in the nation furniture special is it's not a mass production. so we did it best on the fly and it's, it's not about the furniture only, but also to try to shift the craftmanship the hadn't made at all. or furniture are made from our people back indonesia, in terms of sustainability. i'm also really proud that lot off in a nation productions currently the really trying to minimize the ways the ways from the for his or production. we can use it to create a complete new pro dock such as new verse such as state corporation. and we'll find else to take part the declaration. the most important thing to the successful in germany is 1st with down to the concert. that's the 1st. and the 2nd is to law off your job. because on me, when killed last something you do, you're generating innovation new generating fresh ideas. i am now around 12000 kilometers to waste from home. so i do feel home sick this the year in germany. i also have like, good friends, good qualities, i worki

how sick is germany? trains canceled, government offices, shot know school classes and deserted building sites for too many people off sick and to few people to fill in in germany. sick leave is on the rise in 2023 employees average to 15 days off due to illness. without all those sick leave, the german economy is good and have shrunk by 0.3 percent last year, instead of thrown by point 5 percent. according to an employer's association. labor organizations argue that rising, sickly is due to people feeling over worked and undervalued. others blame misguided incentives like being able to just phone in for a sick note. overly lenient doctors and paid sickly in the us were paid sickly visit mandatory far fewer people call in and fit to work with germany. a sick note doesn't require you to stay home. you can go to work if you're not contagious. and then there are, the bakers says the lawn must. she wants to check up on workers who call in sick. a better idea is to improve the work environment. so that everyon

he said in a speech directed also to syrians in germany that a new syrians who wants to be in germany are obviously welcome in the country. and he said that some statements coming from politicians have the stabilize many fellow syrian citizens here in, in the country. but to find out what a syrians in germany actually think about this whole debate. i met a syrian doctor who's been here in germany since 2015. let's have a listen to, to what he has to tell me. the. this is a far cry from is words treating more injuries in the syrian civil war. but in 2015, a lot of the off left of the mass cause hospital where he'd worked to come to germany. now a doctor on an emergency war, just east of berlin. the 38 year old treats very different injuries. still the german hospital now feels like home. it feels like a big family. that's what i need it actually. and we have like we, we, we experience a lot of things together like emergencies. some they are about and worse than others. some of this are great, so that's what i liked this identity ross, i need also, and i get it here in addition to a gre

we talk about l germany but if you talk about germany but if you talk about germany and france togetheress and layering on top of that be current political turmoil, it is not looking good for europe in 2025 and into 2026. it is interesting it is the opposite situation we had in europe in the financial crisis when it was the peripheral european countries that were feeling the pain of the two dominant pa

a lot of hateful things, including the mass deportation of anybody in germany who is not born in germany their leaders, the license plate honors adolf hitler. so this is obviously a really disturbing endorsement that elon musk has made of the neo- nazi party in germany and if elon musk is in charge of the trump administration it portends some really evil things when it comes to the kinds of efforts that the trump administration is going to support. not democracies, but potential hateful fringe groups like afd. >> senator chris murphy, thank you very much. that go back to germany and what is happening on the ground. reporting now from reuters is officials believe there may be an explosive device within the car that drove through that christmas market. the numbers, 60 to 80 people injured, the death toll right now at one according to earlier reporting. if the images we have seen are correct, that number is certainly going to rise. there is going to be a briefing , according to the bbc, for the local minister in a few minutes. we will get more information out of that as it comes in. during

who have the right to be in germany, forcing them out of germany.unds like extremism. well, you will not find anything like that in oui’ programmes. and actually, you will not even find something like that in the language of our politicians. it's just not true. it was all a lie. i know it was smeared all over, even internationally, but it's not true. we have no intention to do so. we want to send back those people who are here illegally, and obviously people who already got the citizenship are not here illegally and nobody wants to send them back. so i know this was reported internationally, but it's wrong. there are even lawsuits going on. we are winning them, all of them, because it's really... it's wrong. well, the truth matters here, no doubt, mr boehringer. so i'm looking at a quote here from bjorn hocke, the leader of the afd in thuringia, where your party, of course, is very strong. mr hocke in the past has said, quote, "i'm no longer "talking about integration. "i'm talking about remigration." he talked about wanting to deport up to 200,000

she was always home sick for germany. you know, my father in law and never i'm leaving german law when there was soccer on, which you bought it. always say i'm going for brazil or but i'm going for germany. more garbo latoya. i was actually remains the german 5 set off to search for the house. when my grandmother lived into my grandfather, died in 1969. the one of my cousins shows me the way my paternal grandparents once worked as pharmacy and slanting about 50 kilometers from kemp. of bone lighted a run, a store that sold i buy cultural products, which eventually burned down today the house when my grandmother raised 10 children is in ruins. and anyways, my grandmother's life is typical that the german settlers have something for sale. they often lifting isolation for their own social instructions, their own schools, charges cultural cops, a newspapers over time that net to offer present ends accusing them of not integrating or was forming break away selves within the present in states. that's what comes on the thoughts

so i do feel home sick this the year in germany. i also have like, good friends with colleges i working in a very, very good environment. so at least it also makes me happy. i mean, how would this my 2nd whole slow so if i'm in indonesia, i also feel homesickness with the file from his homework. so i am home in indonesia and in home, but that's it for this edition of me looking at germany's economic wireless and hope and vicious energy transition plans and the challenges involved in transporting solar power over seriously long distance is fine till next time the to the points, strong opinions, clear positions, international perspective, the rebels take them off, chris, the dictates of slaves to moscow skins. terry, a fine piece of the 14 years of war. is there a trots for democracy? what about the power balance in the region? to the point, we also offer the assets don't fold from syria to the point the next on d w, holding up this guy. because if it falls full people are in danger. this as well, that'd be called for now of leaves by

in the aftermath of world war ii, germany emerged as a divided nation, east germany and west germany,s. with the west german film industry, nothing that remarkable emerged, although it did churn out quite a few films. but things began to change in the early 19605. there was a creative renaissance. rainer werner fassbinder was one of the defining figures of what was called the new german cinema movement that emerged. he was a brilliant but complicated figure who made more than a0 films. he died young, aged 37, in 1982, from a drug overdose. all his pictures were different, but his 1974 film ali: fear eats the soul is seen as a masterpiece. it's a film that's a favourite of london—based film—maker and producer anthony fabian, who says he's been deeply influenced by this german classic. fear eats the soul, at heart, is a love story... ..about an older woman. a very plain older woman... ..and a handsome, much younger black man from morocco. it's so approachable. it's so human and it's so touching. they develop this unlikely relationship across the film... ..with quite intense consequences

what germany was hoping to achieve. so this was the 1st time that german diplomats were back in the mask of since 2012 since of the civil war in the country kicked off and they were, they're speaking to as you said, representatives of, of the transitional government to discuss how this transition can unfold a peacefully for syria. they said that the focus of the talks was on ensuring that the rights of minorities and the women especially are guaranteed in this transition in syria. they said the meeting also included talks with representatives of civil society and religious minorities. and they said they also inspected the building of the german embassy, which has been sitting empty in damascus since 2012. but we've also also heard from the german 4 ministry that it says it is aware of the origins ups that it's origins are grounded in. okay to, i'll kind of ideology and they say they're keeping a close eye on. wow. the group is going to act and, and, and, and move forward in this transition. right on the removal of s sid

he's been in germany since 2006.his is according to officials in germany. >> well, most obviously it tells us that they've identified him. if they have those kind of details, which as i was mentioning earlier, that then allows them to go back within their holdings. both the german security service as well as their global allies, to see if they have any what's called derogatory, derogatory information on this individual and various countries, including the u.s., what they have. and oftentimes these terrorist databases are not just the identities of individuals, but also the so-called one, two, three hops out their associates, people that they may have been in contact with. again, i'm talking about the intelligence side of the house, not the law enforcement side of the house. and that then allows the authorities to see is this someone who had some type of connection to a known or suspected terrorist, which would obviously be important, but as we've been discussing, oftentimes we see the so-called lone wolf, the person

we've lived in germany for a very long time and then are ready to attack. we see since october 2023, but also as part of provide a indication of these terran networks no longer being really under sustained military pressure. and neither enough ground is done nor in africa, nor really in the middle east. indeed, a much more broader operational capability off international power networks to actually again conduct the tax in lot of the tax in europe and we see the attacks in most kyle receive the attacks in mind. i'm installing and i've seen other attacks in other european country. so we have a sustained effort you know, of these groups to encourage individuals to conduct attacks to help hasn't the case with a group of use that planned to bomb the, to the concert in getting out to help them online. but also to just simply inspire individuals to do attacks like you've seen in zoning. right. but it does seem that the radically vision aspect has not been confirmed. the policies have not used the woods, tentative attacks yet. all that other possible motivations th

in germany in 50 years. before that. so it really set the kind of, um, the standard in terms of the germans response to this sort of soft target. attack framework. then we had another 1 in 2018, in strasbourg, in which five people died. and then just earlier this month, there is some reporting that german authorities made an arrest of an individual who was plotting an attack on a christmas market in germany. so, you know, we know that this is a persistent target for extremists, for terrorist attacks, for all the reasons that we've been discussing massive crowds, especially as you get closer and closer to christmas. um, they're very hard to secure. you have to, you know, they are by definition, outdoor open air markets with huge crowds, lots of stalls, people packed very tightly into a limited amount of space. so they're like really ripe for um, people, terrorists who don't have either the technology or the ability or the access to weapons and explosives. anyone can get access to a vehicle to just cause mass

it's germany. the symbol of the g 7 countries, the strongest economies, lenses have over a 100 percent. that's a c d t. so times we only have 60 percent once we get to that. so we have to get things going and we have to do it now. have made suggestions as to how we can get germany, where it needs to be made in germany. bonus like in the u. s. as a boost if a private investments with stable energy prices for the power charges and $0.03 with a germany funds. and then the source and what time is the buy modernizing the debt break in our basic the constitutions and my proposal in a month for that is so slow leak openings due to an end towards investment investing in germany's renewal and security in the coming term of office defense is going to have to be funded entirely from the current budget. 6000000 backs. 13000000000 more a year from 2028 at the latest. and then there's the coven pandemic that, that we have to pay off who's going to pay for this? the employers, the employees set the families on th
